Hi,
I’m a Garmin Nuvi user, looking for routable maps for a self drive trip in Japan.
I read the instructions and follow the steps to download the map for Japan. The URL in the email received from OSM, contains only one file (ie. osm_generic_tiles.zip). where can I download this map file (ie. gmapsupp.img) needed for the Gamin GPS?
The options i selected were:
Many thanks.
Bill, see my comment above
Bill, if your need is urgent, you could try another map provider from those listed on the osm wiki site http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download
Maybe another version from the site you tied may work too I guess.
Ligfietser, I wanted to email to Lambertus, but I’m a new user, so don’t have permission to do so.
Many thanks.
When you request a map you will get an email from him, with a reply address.
Or try to request another map when a new update is available.
Many thanks ligfietser, will email to him directly.
Just to confirm, I’ve been seeing the same issue, where only one type of download file is created (osm_generic_new_tiles.zip) and there is no link to download the Garmin .img file. I’ve just replied to the “download ready” notification email to advise of the problem and steps to reproduce.
I’ve now tried a few different map types, but the result always seems to be the same.
EDIT: Further to this, I just selected a much small area with manual tile selection (just the south east of UK, rather than the whole of the UK) and now the download links generated correctly.
It is still the same here … seems all MAPs for New Style are missing … i requested generation of some Maps (Greece, Albania …) got the tracking id and the completion mail.
But on all Requests where only the osm_generic_new_tiles.zip
Example for Greece:

Looks like there’s some software version mismatches or something - the job log errors when it tries to make the gmapsupp file. Won’t be fixed until the author runs some updates.
I was able to put all the .img tile files it generated into my Edge 810 and it seems to have worked anyway. I didn’t need a lot of tiles though, so ymmv if you have a lot of them.

Zipping gmapsupp
Gmapsupp does not exist!
@Mario
You can convert those tiles zip file with osm combiner to a gmapsupp.img and installable version for Basecamp or Mapsource.

Seems related to the Java version, see https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=24821
Please mail this issue to Lambertus who builds those maps. He might not check this forum regularly.
Have emailed to Lambertus several times, but no response. Anyone able to get in touch with him?
Unfortunately not, you have to wait until the next update or try another map provider.
Thanks for the site.
Is there any possibility to cut the size of a huge tile - specifcially SA-Medina - it includes a small part that is required to cover all of Israel, but for that it doubles the size of the file and makes it too big for e.g. Garmin 520. Thanks again.
No, unfortunately not but with http://extract.bbbike.org/ you can exactly specify how big your map will be.
I see the recent OSM for Garmin shows a date of 29-11-2016.
How many days before this map would have been the cut-off to tracks that one has added.
I added new trails to an area we use about 6 days prior to this date and they didn’t make the update?

I’m not sure but max. one day before. I have had a look into my area and my edits from 27-11 where all there so I dont know the cause of your issue. Maybe your map is shown the history cache? You can clear it with ctrl-G (2x).
Hi
Greate project, but I see some bugs.
In Generic Routable stream=river. Looks terrible in garmin Dakota 
Generic Routable (new style) have problem with render water polygon. Example: http://osm.org/go/0hXhu5W?m= is not rendered…
Track Grade1 is not redered. Grade1 looks like Grade2, 3… Is not good for MTB.
Can you send a link and screenshot? Try the Mapnik TYP file or else the Generic New map style.
Those lakes are rendered on the latest map. Maybe you have overlapping maps on your Dakota?
Try to check it with Javawa Device Manager.
The generic maps are not specifically meant for bicycles. Try the openfietsmap, or openmtbmap.org which is meant for MTB.
